BraveNewCheneyWorld:druiid: I enjoy how the bigot in the thread keeps being trollish toward people when they respond and ask questions about his stance, yet doesn't actually refute what they said, at all. Good jorb there buddy. Keep on keeping on. You're marked as a bigot in my farkies now.

What's with you people feel the need to tell everyone how they've farkied someone? Who are you, and why do you think you're important enough for us to care? You're as useless as the people who post "lol".

"Useless"? Who, here, is not "useless"? Do you perform some useful function here, other than being the dumbest asshole in the room most of the time? Of course not. Stop being silly.

gottagopee:It should be pretty apparent to anyone with an IQ above 80 that common usage of word has impact at least as great as strict dictionary definition.

Dictionary definitions usually come from societal use, not the other way around. Language is always changing. The homophobes like to claim the word still means what it did in psychology texts in 1950, but it's long gone past that, and Merriam-Webster backs that up.

They just don't like being called cowards, cause then maybe the other boys will think they are queer.

BraveNewCheneyWorld:log_jammin: BraveNewCheneyWorld: I disapprove of people getting face tattoos

why? Just like someone being homosexual, it's non of your business.

Ah, so we can only disapprove of things that directly affect us? I'm sure you have plenty of opinions on things that don't affect you, but let me guess, because this is a hot button issue these days, and you want to be PC.. this is "different".

Hot button issue? PC? My god man, did you just beam here to Planet Earth? I'm 43 years old and this was a huge topic since I've been old enough to be aware of it. Have you lived your life in such a sheltered little world that homophobia crossed your mind until you read it on the news?

WOW. I think your opinions on anything need to be taken with a serious grain of salt. I dunno, maybe go make some friends or something.

staplermofo:For all its size, Africa still only has a billion people with a GDP of 2 trillion USD, so it's behind India and China in both. India and China were both made of a bunch of other countries and brutally colonized. And almost all of Africa is in the African Union, so, you know, it's not super unreasonable to lump them all in one.
